In 2016, the internet exploded with “Pizzagate”—claims of a secret child-trafficking ring hidden in pizza shop basements, linked to the powerful and the elite. No evidence was ever found, but the story spread like wildfire. Why does something like this catch fire? Because it plays on our fear, our outrage, and our mistrust of symbols. A slice of pizza became a code, triangles became proof, and suddenly every logo looked like a secret. Here’s the real question: does Pizzagate expose hidden truth—or does it distract us from the real crimes of greed, power, and exploitation happening in plain sight? What do you think—smokescreen, symbol, or something more? — JPG | 363

You’ve probably heard the famous clip: JFK warning that “secret societies are repugnant in a free and open society.” Conspiracy theorists often play this as if he was condemning Freemasonry or some hidden cabal. But have you ever read the whole speech? Kennedy was speaking in 1961 to the American Newspaper Publishers Association—warning about the dangers of Soviet secrecy, state censorship, and a lack of transparency in the press. His concern wasn’t Masons in lodges, but governments using secrecy as a weapon against freedom. So the question is: why do so many use this line to fuel the “secret society” myth? Was JFK really hinting at hidden powers, or have his words been twisted to fit a narrative? What do you think—was JFK exposing a cabal, or warning about propaganda and state secrecy?

From the Garden of Eden, the Serpent has been cast as the deceiver—the one who led humanity into exile. Yet the Serpent is also a symbol of wisdom, healing, and renewal: Moses lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness to heal the people, and Christ compared His own lifting up on the cross to that same sign. Beyond the Bible, the Serpent has been revered in many traditions. Among Hindus, the cobra is sacred not only as a spiritual symbol but as a practical guardian—protecting fields and grain stores from vermin and pestilence brought by rats. So who is the Serpent really? The great deceiver, the bringer of forbidden knowledge, the healer raised in the desert—or the sacred guardian of life itself? Is the Serpent our enemy, our teacher, our savior—or all three at once? Share your thoughts below. — JPG | 363
